      Another great segment from John Stewart. Pretty sad commentary that we have to watch the Comedy Channel to get relavent news.

      Hey, if you turn off the sound and just watch the pouty-lipped blond news babes interact it sort of becomes "news porn"

      FOX does it again

      Just think, if this were Fox, we could go with the headline: "John Stewart nails Megyn Kelly"

      What's with the Fair and Balanced label anyway? Is Fox worried that viewers need to have it reinforced all the time, lest they come to a different conclusion on their own?

      Kinda like, "Honest" Ed's Used Car Sales.

        Believe me, there are people out there who take FOX's "fair and balanced" slogan literally...I've met some of them. Amazing how child like some adult humans are...

        I once bought a car from Honest Ed. Let me tell you he wasn't so honest. Thanks for the laugh.
